Ricki Gilmour, also known as "Gilly," is an Australian transplant to the USA, living in California, working for KYB suspension. Ricki has had a unique relationship with Eli Tomac, working as his suspension technician, off and on, for Eli Tomac's entire Pro Supercross and motocross career. He also helped Dylan Ferrandis win his 2021 Pro Motocross 450 Championship and he's worked with many other top riders.
Ricki's job never ends, he's at the races on the weekends, traveling to and from the races two days out of the week and he's at the track testing or in the shop working on suspension the other days. When we spoke with Ricki at the 2023 Seattle Supercross, he didn't know where he was going the following week. Either Florida to test with the Star Racing Yamaha team, Colorado to test at Eli Tomac's house, or home to Southern California, to work in the Yamaha shop. In this interview, Ricki tells us about his job and his history working with Eli Tomac from the Geico Honda 250 days to his current program with Star Racing Yamaha.

also shows what bubba has been saying. Eli's not totally comfortable on the new model yet. I've been saying it all season, we have not seen beast mode. Nobody would touch him if he was 100 percent with his bike. it's got twitches.

Super cool interview don't get to hear from these guys very much, but they definitely have a huge impact behind the scenes on how successful a rider career can be when everyone is so close in speed that little extra edge makes a huge difference. Definitely a cool story kind of shows how stubborn the factories can be with Kawasaki not wanting to work with this guy Eli kind of prove them wrong I don't see how they can say with 2020 hindsight this guy would not have been a good hire at Kawasaki to work with Eli on suspension when that literally is the most important part of the motorcycle at this top top level.

I’m disappointed!!! That this didn’t go for at least an hour or 4!! And the fact that Ricky is wearing a bloody Queensland jackets!! 😂😂 Go the blues Ricky!! Could you imagine the stories Ricky would have! Tomac wins first ever pro outdoor! 5-0 to start 2015 and 30-60 seconds faster than everyone!! Plus in-depth analysis on how Tomac rides compared to others (without giving secrets away of course) Good interview 🤘🤘🤘

John can’t do suspension & Eli can’t ride fast without it so Gilly is the man on that side of it. Takes a team not just 1 person.

@jamesmaslin620 Год назад
Great interview. Funny how he says he still rides i think all suspension techs should get out and ride the bikes even if there are 10-15sec or more a lap slower so much to be learnt in riding the bikes then just reading a spec sheet.
@2wheelseparationanxietydis271
I wonder what he means by put “together a package”? Do they have different shape valves or is it just different shims or do they adjust spring rates or all of it?? I don’t know much but it would be interesting to hear a little more of the technical aspects.

@yamahakid450f
@yamahakid450f Год назад
You can watch the bike and see its having issues... look in long rhythm lanes, instead of driving through the bike has a weird shake in the bottoms of the transitions, especially when it's rutted, wet and sticky, where other bikes drive right through and they're able to pick up a lot of time on him. Even then he's been good in the tighter stuff and flat(ter) corners. And when he doesn't have those transition issues, he's also great in the whoops, when he does have those issues he also struggles in the whoops. The chromoly steel frame/chassis with their flex look the best in those areas, he must be a bit stiff and running really stiff suspension

Eli left his problem at Kawasaki crew .With this recent neck thing and Adam C.'s round up poisoning .It's so obvious who is doing it sur- ley motive,who will keep wrenching ,and who has ? Have Ricki watch your back and neck ! Don't let people creep up behind you ! Symptoms of round up poisoning are fingernails extreme pain',stiff sore neck it's very cruel and painful I hope you give the Kowerd's what they deserve! ( inconSpic u was) no thirteen
